The couple met back in 2007.

In 2021, he told The Different Minds podcast: "I so liked Charlotte and I wanted to develop a relationship with her.

"But I was so intimidated by that and it was so pressurised, that I found it really, really difficult to look at her despite the fact that I really liked the way she looked!"

Chris explained that Charlotte later said to him: "I thought I’d met the weirdest person because I was with them for six months and they didn’t look at me once."

Asked if he and Charlotte would ever wed, Chris said: "I would say no. It’s all about animals at the moment, we have to concentrate on them.

"Her tigers are old, my dog Scratchy is old. It’s not about us, we have to get through this period basically of aged animals."
